Celebrating 30 Years
Thirty years ago, in 1995, our family opened the doors to Amici Ristorante with a simple dream: to share the flavors of Southern Italy with our new home here in Kenmore. Amici means “friends” in Italian, and from the very beginning, that’s exactly what this place has been about — gathering together over a homemade meal, sharing stories, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
Over the years, we’ve watched first dates turn into weddings, and weddings turn into anniversaries celebrated right here at our tables. We’ve hosted family gatherings, bridal showers, holidays, and quiet nights out with good food and good wine. Some of you grew up coming here with your parents, and now you bring your own children. Some of you stop in just to pick up sauce because it tastes like home. That’s what makes Amici special — it’s not just our restaurant, it’s your restaurant, too.
We are so proud and grateful to still be here 30 years later, serving the food you love, surrounded by the community that has become part of our family. From our award-winning sauce to our traditional Italian cuisine with a modern twist, plus our weekly specials, everything we do is for you — our friends, our Amici. Thank you for letting us be part of your lives for three decades. Here’s to 30 years of friendship, family, and unforgettable meals… and to many more to come. With love and gratitude, - Orazio Gervasi
